Omgar, you must have missed the BB shell pic. Seems you know the builder. What a fine, fine example of beautiful, detailed frame building.

The bike came with quite an eclectic mix of components:
Campy Nuovo Record RD
Campy Record FD
Shimano 600 headset
Campy seat post
Campy Record hubs / Mavic G40
Cinelli Criterium bars
Campy 50th Anniversary skewers

No brainer IMHO, get it rideable, make sure it fits and rides well or better for you then decide on how deep of a dive.
This is a Grail bike plain and simple, may not be your thing but I would allow a lot of latitude for this thinking about it.
Many here would be liquidating to make this happen and planning great things, If it were my size and I thought you were not going there I would be scrambling.

I just got this from the previous owner and thought I'd share. Bikes like this have their own journey. I'm excited to be part of whatever's next for this one. 
I hope you enjoy the bike it’s been with me for 25 years. I bought two bikes 1 Italian and the Shula. The Italian was all Campy and the Shula was Shimano 105. So I switched components and sold the Italian bike as it didn’t fit me. I lived in Berkeley at the time and visited the Shula bike shop often. The Shula that you bought was from a meth dealer to the Hells Angels and he got it on a “trade”. I’ve ridden and loved this bike for years and thought you’d like to know its history.

I think the red tape and wheels would work if the lugs were also outlined in red and the circles on the fork lug were filled in with the same color. That's a repaint/powder right? If it's original, forget I said anything.
